Summary
Add a SummaryMercy becomes involved in the story when a teenager walks into her garage looking for work. She gives him one -- warily, because her senses tell he's a werewolf, and he's not from the local clan. But all too soon, men and werewolves come looking for him, the local Alpha has been attacked in his own home, and a dead body has been left as a warning on Mercy's front porch. The action just heats up from there, as the local seethe of vampires and at least one local witch take an interest. Fortunately, Mercy is quick on her feet and has a keen, analytical mind when it comes to sorting out conspiracy theories.
The heroine is very likeable. Tough, Smart and Funny .
I particularly like that this heroine is a self confident business owner, who accepts what she is. She recognizes her limitations of size and strength (against both men and wolves), and accepts that it's okay to leave the fight to others every once in a while.

Add a CommentThis is the first of Patricia Briggs Mercy Thompson Series. The series is great, I love the twist and turns Briggs continues to add to the story-line.
recommended by a friend, went in expecting a lot more action because of mercy being an auto mechanic with martial arts training and tats, not to mention the whole shape shifter thing. instead there was a whole lotta exposition, a plethora of indistinct characters, and interspecies politics.
This is a series I can reread over and over again and have. Mercy Thompson is a strong, resilient female mechanic and a coyote walker to boot. Her world is filled with colorful characters from werewolves to vampires to fae and you never know what will happen next.
My favourite author and series by far. Mercy is a woman to be admired. fast paced plot
New author for me. Liked the plot and pace of writing. Looking forward to next book.
So close to a Sookie Stackhouse novel in terms of characters, history of unveiling, and rules/mythology of supernaturals, it is a wonder that this author hasn't been sued for plagiarism. That said, the individual characters are interesting, the main character is slightly new and has a wonderful voice, and, seriously, who can resist a sexy werewolf?
SO GLAD someone told me about this series. I'm in love.
I’ve been putting off this series for a while because I’m not a fan of urban fantasy and the cover art turned me off, but I’m glad I finally tried it. Mercy Thompson is a very likeable character; smart, compassionate, and fierce. There’s also a host of other intriguing characters that I’m interested in finding more about in subsequent books. Overall, a quick and thoroughly fun read!
In Moon Called, we are introduced to a world that is familiar but definitely not our own. There are myriad supernatural creatures about, some that humans are aware of and some they are not. Our entrance into this world is through Mercy, a skin walker capable of transforming into a coyote with close ties to the werewolf community. The world of Mercy Thompson as created by Patricia Briggs and the characters that populate it are interesting and engaging. This is a very strong start to a strong series.
I'm not real picky when it come to the books I read, But when it come's down to it if the first book of a series can't get me going the chances that I'll pick up the next book is slim to none. Now with that said....I'm hooked and addicted to The Mercy Thompson novel's. They have everything I need in a good book and once I start to read one of the books death could not pry the book from hands tell I am done. This is a must read and gateway to the worlds of Patricia Briggs.
